In the end, Luo Binhan still didn't get any further explanation about the "Dwarf Star Demon". Jing Huang was obviously unwilling to elaborate on the grudge that led to him losing his left arm, and Momoluo had no impression of this word.
This was the first time Luo Binhan encountered such a situation, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He knew very well that this matter was definitely beyond the scope of his handling - so far, he had not seen any creature pose a real threat to Jing Huang's body, including the little pervert in black.
"You don't need to be nervous about this." Yaleriga said to him, "Anything can happen in the universe, and there is no point in panic."
Luo Binhan thought so, so he smoothed Jing Huang's tangled hair and returned to his original position to learn astronomy knowledge until Momoluo woke him up from his coma a few hours later and told him that the train had arrived at the station.
"Where are you?" he asked in a daze.
"Ryuzu Town." Momolo said.
They walked out of the station with a few scattered passengers. Before coming into contact with the external environment, Momolo first took out two respirators that looked like nose clips from his pocket and handed them to Marin and Luo Binhan, telling them that they could filter mercury vapor in the external environment.
Luo Binhan didn't understand why a serious atmospheric environment would need to filter mercury, until Momolo explained that the crust of this artificial planet was originally a giant warehouse for storing mercury. It was originally built to store and transport some basic equipment and raw materials, until an alchemy enthusiast from Yunzhong City accidentally came here and complained about the simple and monotonous aesthetics of the scholars in Chonghong Township.
Chonghong Township scholars immediately refuted it fiercely, arguing that a simple and practical structure is truly in line with modern aesthetics, and that all additional decorations are artificial and inefficient. This argument seriously offended the alchemist of Yunzhong City, so she started to transform the planet with full anger: first, she drilled thousands of mercury wells from different locations in the earth's crust to form rivers, lakes and seas of different shapes. Tin, gold and silver were used to create mountains and valleys, and the most popular bronze fluorescent trees and blood iron vines in Yunzhong City were planted. Finally, fast-growing mica clusters were used to create a sea of flowers and coral colonies.
The project was so time-consuming and costly that when she finally completed it to her satisfaction, all the Chonghong Township scholars had almost forgotten about the old controversy. They were shocked to find that the old warehouse had turned into an alien garden composed of metals and minerals, and finally gave it to the alchemist who had run out of savings and had nowhere to go.
The two parties lived together here for a long time, until the creator of Space Train moved from Central City. No one knows how he felt when he first visited Ryuzucho, but it is said that it was one of the first sites he designed. Whenever Ryuzu Town circles the gaseous planet it belongs to fifteen times, he will always come over on the deep space train. This habit eventually continued until the alchemist left the Wild Zone and disappeared into the depths of the star sea leading to the outer realm.
After hearing this story, Luo Binhan pondered for a while, then randomly found a direction he thought was east, and bowed three times seriously.
"Mr. Luo, what are you doing?" Momolo asked.
"It's okay," Luo Binhan straightened up and said, "Although I don't know what Yunzhong City is, anyway, I will pay my respects to His Majesty the First Emperor here."
They continued walking towards town. Due to the special atmospheric environment, there are very few permanent residents on this small planet. The passers-by who occasionally pass by do not look like "primitive Homo sapiens", either with hardened skin with a metallic luster, or simply with a metal head. .
The entire town is surrounded by mountain walls covered with blood iron vines and mica clusters. From any corner of the town, you can see those colorful and exquisitely shaped artificial super-accumulating plants. They cover and decorate the entire dark gray planet, and are also responsible for absorbing excess metal ions in the air. Luo Binhan believed that Momolo could spend more than ten hours explaining the origins and principles of these plants in detail, but in the end he asked nothing and just regarded it as a fairy island in the universe.
While admiring the scenery of the town, Marin took out a pen and paper from his bright silk clothes and began to write something from time to time. Luo Binhan glanced at it quietly, but unfortunately, Ma Lin used some kind of non-universal script, so he couldn't understand it at all.
The atmosphere of this trip was very peaceful, until Fina, who was being carried by Luo Binhan, began to tap the cage wall impatiently. Since the first training, Luo Binhan changed it to a cage without electricity. So far, it has not shown any attempts to escape. It will only flick its tail and bang when it is hungry to urge Luo Binhan to feed him in time.
Luo Binhan stared at it for a few seconds, and then he felt that he was actually hungry. He was secretly worried that people in this place relied on drinking mercury to survive. Fortunately, Yaleriga finally led them into a small shop that looked normal. It's a bit like a cross between a bar and a restaurant, with a fist-sized robot sliding around on the counter and taking orders for guests.
As expected, the store provided a large variety of insects, including not only the green beetles that Luo Binhan had fed to Fina before, but he even saw a milky white worm that was about the size of a roasted chicken and filled with gelatin on a customer's table. It was sprinkled with jam, spices, and syrup mixed with live bee pupae.
It actually smelled pretty good, but the visual aspect was still beyond Luo Binhan's ability. He had to ask Momolo why insect food was so popular, and the other party immediately gave him as many as a dozen reasons: reproductive efficiency, breeding cycle, nutritional value, the eggs are easy to carry in large quantities, and the feed is simple and easy to obtain. …
"Then the security guys don't have any objections?" Luo Binhan questioned.
"Why do you worry about them," Marlin said, digging into a grilled onion stuffed with cooked centipedes. "As if you care about them eating apes and rats."
This time Luo Binhan felt that what he said was reasonable, but in the end he could not withstand the visual torture of insect egg sauce and insect claw stew. In the end, he just ordered a mediocre roast pigeon, which was actually one of the most expensive dishes in the restaurant.
He looked around as he cut the meat. Both Momolo and Zhou Ba were eating slices of something similar to cheese, while Jing Huang ordered nothing and just sat in the corner and continued to sleep. Only Yaleriga ordered an extraordinarily sumptuous meal: a giant tarantula baked until it was shiny, with its teeth stuck in its belly as a tableware; pudding made of beans and cassava flour, simmered on top Dried colorful beetles are sprinkled all over the place; and finally there is a glass of dark green bug juice drink as thick as plasma.
She picked up a whole plate as if nothing had happened, and gracefully sat down in front of the guest eating roasted worms.
The restaurant was small, but there were not many people there at the same time. There were empty tables everywhere, so Luo Binhan, Marin and the guest who looked like an octopus all stared directly at Yaleriga.
"Is there someone here already?" Yaleriga asked knowingly.
The octopus head swung its tentacles and looked at Yaleriga with confusion and a little fascination.
"No," he replied lowly and hesitantly. This was a completely subjective and rigid assumption, but Luo Binhan suddenly felt that this person should be a male.
Yaleriga began to cut open the belly of the bird spider with her spider teeth. The scene was both cruel and beautiful. She bit into a small piece of sausage-like meat and said, "I came here to travel and relax. How long have you lived here?"
The octopus head thought for a long time, and then replied slowly: "Fifty sidereal years."
"What attracted you to stay so long?"
"Scenery." The octopus head said, staring at her tearing into spider meat. "And peace."
Yaleriga showed a hazy and profound smile. Luo Binhan shuddered when he witnessed this scene. He realized that the peace of his octopus-headed friend was about to be destroyed.
